TIMING SYSTEM
PLEASE
PASS THIS INFORMATION ON TO YOUR PARENTS
The park has very limited close-in parking.
There is only around 180 parking spaces near the start/finish area. Some of those spots will be used for busses and school
vans. Last year we had numerous spectators that arrived late and then parked
their vehicles on the road sides and even in the grass fields. When the park
rangers asked them to move their vehicles they became belligerent and refused to cooperate.
They
are only allowed to park in designated parking areas and there is only limited parking available in the park. Spectators would
be much better off to simply park at either the Greenwood Village Park parking West of the park entrance or at Cherry Creek
High School parking lot, which is across the street to the South. The walk would be minimal, less than half of a mile. Park
Rangers will not allow you to enter the park and drop off passengers. Any individual passenger vehicle wishing to enter the
park will have to pay $8.00/vehicle. Parking at either the school or Greenwood
Village Park is free.
